There is no loss of functionality or performance for applications deployed using Instant Client. The Oracle Database client-side number of required files and the total disk storage are significantly reduced. Installation involves unzipping a few files, or installing RPM packages. Finally, the Instant Client is easy to install. A minimal install of Instant Client shared libraries can occupy less than 10% of the space of a full client-side installation. The storage space requirement of an OCI application running in Instant Client mode is significantly reduced compared to the same application running in a full client-side installation.
